Nanomat Li–S batteries based on all-fibrous cathode/separator assemblies and reinforced Li metal anodes are presented to enable ultrahigh-energy-density flexibility.
Incorporation of curcumin (Cur) into a hydrogel system is an interesting approach to treat full-thickness skin wounds because Cur can potentiate healing by affecting different stages the wound healing. Due its hydrophobicity, solubilization great challenge. Thus, pluronic F-127, gelation capacity polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and porosity enhancement TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN) inaugurate biocompatible biodegradable for delivery. In this study, incorporated physically crosslinked...
Abstract Chemical modifications of wood fibers (Lignocel® C120) were performed for biocomposite applications, and chemically modified analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy.

Exfoliated MXene nanosheets are integrated with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) to form composite aerogels high electric conductivity. The combination of CNFs and forms a unique "accordion-like" hierarchical architecture MXene-CNF pillared layers through ice-crystal templating. Benefiting from the special "layer-strut" structure, MXene/CNF have low density (50 mg/cm3), excellent compressibility recoverability, as well superior fatigue resistance (up 1000 cycles). When being used piezoresistive...
Although cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been highlighted as a potential nano-reinforcement in polymer composites, the hydrophilic surface nature of CNCs limits their usage composite area due to poor dispersibility nonpolar solvent systems.
The depletion of onshore oil reserves along with a rapid increase in the global energy demand has driven industry to explore and produce from deepwater fields. However, because high salinity subsea formation, salt contamination is becoming one most critical challenges bentonite water-based drilling fluids (BT-WDFs), causing undesirable changes density, rheology, filtration performance fluids. Herein, we reveal mechanisms negative influence cations on BT-WDFs demonstrate function...
A free-standing, antibacterial hydrogel was fabricated using silver-nanoparticle-immobilized cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and alginate. Surface hydroxyl groups of CNFs were oxidized to carboxylate (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxidanyl (TCNF), followed by the treatment with silver nitrate solution for surface adsorption ions. In situ reduction ions produce nanoparticles performed silver-adsorbed CNFs. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic analysis revealed that higher...
A cellulose nanofiber (CNF)–polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel electrolyte is developed. It has the potential to expand application of ZIBs broad fields such as wind turbines in desolate areas, cold polar regions, and aerospace.
Conductive hydrogels have gained a great deal of interest in the flexible electronics industry because their remarkable inherent properties. However, significant challenge remains for balancing hydrogel's conductivity, self-healing, and strength Herein, double network ionic were fabricated by concurrently introducing borax into dicarboxylic cellulose nanofiber (DCNFs) polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels. The incorporation provided superabsorbent feature to PAM/DCNF (without borax) with...
Although chemical modifications of CNCs have been successfully adopted to enhance their dispersibility in apolar matrices and solvents, the problem dispersion level mCNCs above a certain loading nanoparticles remains an issue.
The approaching era of sustainable development and rapid increase in global energy demand necessitates the high-performance drilling fluids with low toxicity, sustainability, in-situ rheology controllability for complicated formation excavation. Herein, smart water-based (WDFs) thermocontrollable rheological properties are developed using bentonite (BT) dual-functionalized cellulose nanocrystals (fCNCs). fCNCs synthesized by surface grafting poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)...
Hydrogels have been widely studied and used in biomedical pharmaceutical applications.
